Halloween is on the horizon, and we have several spooky jewels to tempt you
20/10/2021
The Dawsons October sale will feature over 370 lots of fine jewellery, silver, watches, and much more!
Some of our favourite lots include a diamond daisy cluster ring, passed down through the family and set with lovely old-cut diamonds, estimate £600-800.
For a more modern jewellery look, a pair of diamond earrings set with rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. The stones are calibre-set, meaning that the gemstones are cut to fit against each other in the mount; this style was very popular during the Art Deco period, and it is unusual to find modern pieces made this well, so this is a lot to take a second look at.
We are aware that Halloween is coming up this month, so in the spirit of Samhain we have several spooky jewels to tempt you…! Lot 29 is a fabulous spider pendant, studded with diamonds and rubies; we also have three enamel skull pendants with blood-red ruby and green stone eyes, and an antique snake ring set with old-cut diamonds.
Gold is always a popular investment choice, and for the coin collectors out there we have a lovely single owner collection of sovereigns and Kruggerands.
In the silver department this month, we are delighted to have consigned an unusual collection of cow creamers from a London client, the perfect addition to your tablescape this winter! We have five Georgian cow creamers, four made by John Schuppe, a Dutch silversmith who worked in London; his work has bene included in the Victoria & Albert museum, and he is highly collectable.
For watch collectors, is this beautiful Omega Constellation Co-Axial stainless steel wristwatch, complete with box and paperwork.
